POF Favorites & Testimonials

Plenty of Fish includes a feature similar to that of many other social networking sites, the "Favorites". With this you can choose members you are particularly fond of and "Favorite" them. Many members build up their social proof and attractiveness by being favorited many times, while others just ignore this.

If that member favorites you as well, then either one of you can write a "Testimonial" about the other. You may see these on some profiles. Basically a testimonial allows you or the other favorite to write something nice about the person, telling others why they're worthwhile. Both the testimonials and favorites on the Plenty of Fish dating site are free to use and can help attract members of the opposite sex. Some members don't like testimonials while others do, so this is really a matter of your personal preference. Either way these two things may provide you a shot of confidence while you're putting yourself out there in the online dating world.

POF Search Feature

At the Plenty of Fish Dating site you can really narrow down the type of person you're interested in meeting. POF offers a great search feature for its database of members. The basic search function allows you to input the age range, location (zip code, state), and ethnicity of people you may be interested in meeting. POF returns quick results too.

With the Advanced search feature you can choose age range, height range, ethnicity, religious preference, drinking/smoking habits and what sort of educational background the individual has. Not everyone is picky, but many people do have their preferences. This feature allows you to screen for the type of individuals you really want to meet, and best of all it's free to use!

Plenty of Fish Etiquette

When using any dating site, free or paid, there will be certain norms and expectations most members should consider. This includes how you portray yourself to other members first and foremost. You want to find the best match for you, so the last thing you want to do is misrepresent yourself or upset a potential love connection.

Be honest when describing yourself and use current pictures on the POF dating site. Using a picture of you from 10 years ago, or when you were in better shape won't do you any favors. The person who meets you may be extremely upset that you chose to lie about who you truly are.

Also, when contacting members whether it be through POF messaging or instant messaging, use class and etiquette. Don't approach members with sexual requests or weird questions like "what are you wearing right now?" Again, things like these will only create possible conflicts and may get you kicked off the sie.
